Teilbar - the sharing app

You know how things stopped being shareable?

Digital movie or game licenses instead of physical copies. Streaming services instead of cassettes & CDs. “Do not share" notices appearing on some new books' ISBN pages.

Capitalism has turned sharing into an act of resistance.

Thank you for sharing!

Community sharing lowers waste Multiple studies of communities that swap, borrow, barter, and trade underused or unwanted items have shown that local sharing contributes to lower waste production, and can have a bigger impact than recycling. Sources: Julsrud, T. E.: "Sustainable sharing in local communities: exploring the role of social capital" for Local Environment v.28, 2024. Sandin, G., Peters, G.M.: "Environmental impact of textile reuse and recycling - A review" for Journal of Cleaner Production 184, 2018.

• Fewer things need to be made = less production waste!

Hi! We’re new here, but would love to be part of it 💚

and in case no one has mentioned them yet, we’d recommend @climatewords.bsky.social for the excellent vocab of the day style explainers!

80% of buyers regret purchases. 4 in 5 Americans regret some of their purchases even when they're well-researched-most often because what they bought was not needed, purchased on impulse, or because they have too much stuff already. Source: IPSOS research report: "Many Americans have experienced buyer's remorse", June 2023.

62% say they didn't need it in the first place. 3 in 5 respondents who regret a purchase say they didn't really need what they bought. Around 2 in 5 regret an impulse buy, or regret buying anything at all since they have too much stuff already. Source: IPSOS research report: "Many Americans have experienced buyer's remorse", June 2023.

Overconsumption patterns are on the rise, even though they so often lead to regret.

Stop buying, start sharing, and let’s create a more sustainable future! 💚 #sustainability #nobuy
